Our dog is urinating on our beds?
We have a 12 month old dog who is urinating on our beds. He has been fixed and this problem actually started after he was fixed. We are constantly keeping our doors closed, but the one time it's open he gets in. We have tried many different things and it's not helping. Is there anyone else who had had this problem who can help us!! :-) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Neutering usually reduces such a problem, but is no cure all. Such behaviors usually develop as the dog matures, so it is just a coincidence it started after being neutered. Who sleeps where is a big deal to dogs. Urinating on your bed is a way of showing the dog outranks you in the pack. The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat.
